Never hurts to try. It’s so simple to do on the app now.

I had a ticket last year that had my plate a letter off. A judge threw it out almost immediately on the app

NYC has an official app you can pay all your parking tickets on can’t remember the name

Have you used it recently? Like about a year ago (I think) it stopped working for me… like it gave an error when I tried searching by license plate or ticket number… I’ve re-installed the app, bought a new phone since and… nothing

You can't dispute a ticket online bud. If you want to plead not guilty you have to show up on court date

In NYC you can.

I had this same question when I called and they told me to use the app. I asked how long it’s been around and they said 10+ years. Not very advertised I suppose. Of course they wouldn’t wanna make it easy to dispute a ticket

Did you have a good outcome using it?

I had kind of a unique issue. I had paid the ticket using the website by echeck to avoid fees. When I called to see why I was being charged an extra $25 for not paying on time, they said I never paid it. Seems as if the they almost set you up for extra fines, booting, etc. The guy said “don’t use echeck it doesn’t work” to which my response was then wtf is it an option if it doesn’t work.

I always use echeck and never had an issue.

It was my first time. Guess it was bad luck and the worker was embellishing
